We only knew Brian for a short time, but we all thought he was really cool (Evan's word), and made us smile. We always looked forward to seeing him at football games, because he was always cheerful and funny. Our hearts go out to Jarred during this awful time, along with anyone else whose heart is a little emptier now that Brian is gone.

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."....Irish poem of condolences.
